| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2004 Tasty but this isn’t much of a Double IPA.
Chestnut.
Aroma of pine, pineapple, smoked wood and roasted malts, mainly caramel but also a hint of molasses.
Where are the hops in this? This is entirely too malty for a a DIPA. Flavor mainly consists of hops oils, pine needles, apricots, pineapples and lemon. The malt backbone is nice but if I want a nice malt backbone, I’ll snag an English barley wine.
